I couldn't find any code examples, but is there is an option to autofill using dialog API? For example, I want to email a document, but I want to be able to select a client from a list from the DB and retrieve their email address automatically, or have the option to type another email address in.

Thanks!

There is no such an option. Autofill retrives data from the database while Dialog API is a purely Javscript solution. Use a regular Add page for this purpose.

I appreciate it. I thought so, but wasn't sure and just wanted to double check. What I was doing was the email current page to pdf (https://xlinesoft.com/phprunner/docs/how_to_email_the_current_page_as_pdf.htm) with the button on the print page after filtering data or selecting certain records. The filter would be by the contractor, and then it would email the contractor open jobs.

I may try to get the contractors ID from the print page on page load, and then set that ID as a param that gets passed to the javascript on the dialog API.
